I think it doesn't matter
what your opinion is...
I don't like anyone telling me
"thats the way it should be."
Although it doesn't matter
let me tell you this...
You will never spark that light
of change in me...
~~
So just keep it to yourself
because I don't wanna hear it
You can't tell me how
I should feel inside.
Dont you worry about me
I can take care of myself
I may not have much but
at least I have my pride.
~~
In this place in time
too many people think...
About how others should feel
instead of themselves.
Through these days in time
I choose not to sink...
You'll never change my mind
so just stay to yourself.
~~
And just keep it to yourself
because I don't wanna hear it
You cant tell me how
I should feel inside
Dont you worry about me
I can take care of myself
I may not have much but
at least I have my pride.
Keep it to yourself
because I don't wanna hear it
You can't tell me how
I should feel inside
Don't you worry about me
I can take care of myself
I may not have much but
at least I have my pride
~~
My pride....
I think it doesn't matter
what your opinion is...
I don't like anyone telling me
"thats the way it should be...."

Would love to hear these lyrics sung to music.
This piece says a lot about self and understanding who you are regardless of the opinions of others. Sometimes, that can be a hard thing to hang on to.
Nicely done. ~The Blue Lamp

you could very well turn this into a song you should add a video of it being performed if you have it worked on ^_^ , i like how you took a positive additude towards pride where as most would go the other way with it...as this is a lyrical poem there isnt really anything grammer wise that would need to be corrected or punctuation wise...^_^...i would be very interested in hearing this song bravi brava bravisima

HEY I LIKE YOUR POEM ABOUT PRIDE ITS GREAT

The repetition is quite well done, to show you don't care of the opinions of others. It is shown well and repeating it makes it more effective and well known.
Thank you for entering and good luck in the contest
